This 2022 season can't get here fast enough. Tennessee would have won by 5 plus TDs had we played later in the season last year. You benefited from a first tear coach new system early in the year and new QB. Next year's arse whooping is going to be epic. Vols going in dry.

I am sure this is Bias, but id think that SC would be on there just to prove he isnt a fraud.


remember Champ won 9 games in a season at SC, then went off the rails

If they are as good as advertised, and well coached, freshmen and sophomores are good enough to win.

We have something to prove every year. We've been finishing with 9 and 10 wins and finishing 2nd in the East and people still talk to us like it's still Lil ole Kentucky and Vandy in the cellar.

I don't expect to be talked about like we're something amazing, but still getting flagrant disrespect when it's clear we're a very solid football program now is annoying as fvck. I'd say we've earned some respect.

Pretty legit list. I agree with all of it. I’m worried about Ole Miss. I hope our transfer portal work works out.

Number 1 is UGA. They have yet to prove that they can win the SEC and NC in the same season since their anomaly season in 1980


I actually think #1 is Florida. There is no excuse for them to be as bad as they’ve been. They’ve missed on every coach since Spurrier with the exception being Urbs. And they just hired an unproven guy who has never coached at this level.

They need prove it more than anyone.

You mean last year's Tennessee team was okay and should be better this year but last year was bad, but you expected Florida to do worst this year because......?

Tennessee is 1-16 vs. Florida since 2005. GTFO here.

LSU- not a contender, massive rebuild. Will be a 7-5 type team for a while

9-3, 8-4 for a year or two. Depending on how next year's schedule shakes out. But won't be rebuilding "for a while," not with how well Kelly is already recruiting, outright and in the portal. Massive rebuild, but won't be out for as long as some might think--or would like.
The rest is fair except Ole Miss may have found something--until their coach moves on.

Not to poke A&M with a stick but with all the talent they've stockpiled in recent years (not just this class) it sure would be nice if they lived up to their billing for once.

1980 wasn’t an anomaly. Give me Herschel Walker and I’m winning it all too.

3: UGA
UGA must prove they can replicate another good season following a NC. Alabama seems to be the only team to sustain that success after a NC.


Clemson made the playoff 2015,2016,2017,2018,2019,2020

But if you mean SEC, I guess with UGA it'd depend what is your definition of a "good season". I mean our worst season from 2017-2021 ended with a Big 6 bowl victory and a Big 6 bowl is pretty much the floor during that time. Unless you mean make it back to the playoff or win the division, which Bama has not done every season, we're pretty much already doing what you're talking about.
